Whoa there!” My roommate mumbles as he makes a staggering entrance that would make Kramer from Seinfeld look like a graceful ballerina by comparison. He barely catches himself on the wall.

“Oh my god. Are you okay?” I abandon my headset on the dresser and rush over toward him because he looks pretty unsteady, like he might fall flat on his face. Not that I’d be able to catch a six foot three professional football player without becoming a pancake on the floor myself.

Thankfully, he rights himself and limps into an upright position.

“What on earth are you doing, Jude?!” My voice comes out squeaky and high-pitched because this man just scared the shit out of me.

He throws a disoriented glimpse over my shoulder, then his forehead creases with something that looks a little bit like anger. I follow his stare.

There’s red wine spreading across my dresser, bleeding into the scattered papers, circling the base of my microphone and dripping down onto the hardwood floor.

“Oh, shit!” I quickly grab my computer and headphones out of harm’s way. Tiptoeing through the mess, I deposit my gadgets on my bed. I bend over my mattress and take a few minutes to fuss over the equipment, making sure none of it got wet because lord knows I can’t afford to replace any of it right now.

When I’m satisfied that everything is dry, my attention spins back to my roommate.

Now, he’s standing there, his glassy eyes locked on my ass. His gaze bounces to my face. He swallows, making his Adam’s apple climb and drop. That’s when I remember that I’m virtually naked in this see-through lace teddy I’m wearing. Jeez, Louise.

I grab a bunch of pillows and self-consciously clench them to my lingerie-clad body. “Again, what the hell are you doing?” I demand.

Jude blinks hard and slow. “I wanted to talk to you but never mind,” he says in a cold, flat voice. He gestures resentfully to my make-shift recording studio. “Obviously, you’re in the middle of something. I don’t want to interrupt. You can go back to…whoever it is you’re so busy entertaining all the time.”

What on earth is he talking about? Before I can ask, he limps away, closing the door behind him.

I wrap myself in my bathrobe and plop down on the edge of my bed, fuming. It’s obvious that Jude just heard everything I was saying. That’s a major invasion of my privacy.

My normal response would be to hide away and feel mortified. But I’m tired of being the quiet girl who holds her tongue when really, what I need to do is stand up for myself. Just as I’m working myself up for a confrontation, there’s a knock at my door.

The hinges scream as I angrily tear the door open. Jude stands there with a mop and some towels from the linen closet. “We need to clean that up.” He frowns at me.

I’m frowning too as I step out of the doorway to let him through. Wordlessly, he hands me the towels and starts mopping up the mess on the floor.
